Huge update. Huge, huge update. 15 days ago we confronted Deputy Interior Secretary Tommy Beaudreau. We called him a climate criminal in front of his peers. We chased him down multiple blocks, exposing his choice to approve Willow. Today he resigned. Direct action works.🧵(1/7)

Israel is burning and bulldozing tree crops at historic rates. These trees would take years to grow back - and that's without factoring in the time it would take to detoxify the soil. (2/13)

We are a brand-new movement of young people. We came of age amidst superstorms and fires and crumbling ice shelves. We trusted our President - but he sold us out to fossil fuel CEOs. So we will rise. We will build the future we deserve. And we will be unstoppable.

Big news: our organizer Izzi was brutally punched in the face. Izzi's "crime" was confronting Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who is actively approving new oil export terminals. We demand the Secretary - now known as Petro Pete - condemn the violence done in his name.

This is not unpleasant, this is unbearable. We need mass-turnout, nonviolent direct uprisings to resist this. On 4/29 we will blockade the White House Correspondents Dinner. The President will be there. And so will we. Signup to join us at

Exxon learned about the existential threat of climate change 40 years ago. Yet leaked documents show Exxon plans to **increase** emissions by 17% by 2025. Exxon is torching earth to gin up profits. So we shut down the luncheon honoring their CEO Darren Woods. No apologies.

BREAKING: we just **took over** a gathering of multimillionaires honoring Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan. This actual mass killer has handed $279,000,000,000 to the fossil fuel industry since the Paris Accord was signed. Trash.

BREAKING: we completely, fully took over the yacht-ensconced meal honoring Congressman Richard Neal. Slimy and slick, utterly, utterly corrupted, there is not one fossil fuel CEO whose boots this “representative” won’t lick. Not one.

Fucking stop it with the words “it’s complicated.” Here’s the situation: -fossil fuels heat the planet -exceeding 1.5 degrees of heating would be cataclysmic -we have the solutions -the obstacle is political will -disruptive, peaceful direct action can foment the political will

This should be in the headlines of every major newspaper. The President is on the cusp of approving a fracked gas project with a climate impact 20 times that of Willow. This would be a crime against the earth. This cannot stand. This will not stand. (1/9)🧵

BREAKING: we took over the "sustainability forum" honoring PR tycoon Richard Edelman. The Guardian named this man one of the main architects of climate collapse. Richard has advised the Koch Brothers, Exxon, and Shell on greenwashing & climate denial. He gets rich, people die.

This is not ok. This is an unmitigated moral, ethical and ecological disaster and this is also just a mere taste of what is in store if we do not turn around. Shut down politicians' speeches. Occupy roads. Blockade fossil fuel infrastructure. We're in emergency mode. (7/7)

BREAKING: today we shut down ANOTHER keynote address by National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi. Zaidi represented coal companies before joining Biden's team. Now he's complicit in approving new fossil fuel projects. This is intolerable. We need mass direct action to stop this.

Canada is burning. 35,000 have been evacuated. More may be forced to flee soon. We have tried to warn you. We have gotten arrested just so you would notice. What else must we do for you to pay attention? What else must we say for you to understand?

UPDATE: we sparked a peaceful mutiny at a speech by U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm. They choked us and body slammed us and put us in grave danger. But we will keep coming back. They can brutalize our bodies. They cannot brutalize our ideas.
